I can easily bring them to work and use them there or with me when I travel and use them in my hotel room. There certainly is a place for them. For me, there are no "ifs" they become a true successor to the HD6X0....they surpass them in pretty much every way (including comfort).

Wow, that's a strong statement there sir. Here's hoping that I end up agreeing with you.

can' t wait man! Just tell me about lcd1 bass? please...It will be a full review. Don't worry.
It is what we have come to expect from Audeze...deep, hard hitting, fast, textured and still very balanced. You can have your cake and eat it too with these headphones.

Comfy good sounding headphones.
Feather Lite, rich, balanced sound, incredibly quick response.
ES headphones are a different sonic world.
As a Planar is to a Dynamic, so is an Electrostat to a Planar or a Dynamic.
Think "Sennheiser finally made a Planar", and you see the vision...the Koss wants you to hear.

Did you every try an Oppo PM-3?
Kinda the same thing.
'Nice little gear.
I suspect that the LCD-1 is going to sonically crush the mostly favorably reviewed Oppo set.
Tech is moving along, so, what was good 5 yrs ago, is still good but what is good now, is quite a bit better.
The one that is best for you, is the one you love, even if most of the reviews said you shouldn't because the graph and the chart said they know best...
The only review that matters is your ears.
I recall that years ago Tyll flipped out for the original Sennheiser Momentum.
= Yuck. This is the headphone that borrowed the worst of the BeyerDynamic "cuppy" midrange and fed it steroids and sold it by the gazallions.
The LCD-1 may have a flaw, as what headphone is perfect? but "cuppy midrange" wont be its sonic weak link.

Thanks a lot. I have iSine 10 with both balanced cable and cipher. Don''t know if you have listen to the isine 10 or isine 20. Hope the lcd1 will "improve" that sound signature of the iSine
Bass - Much lighter in impact than LCD-2+ HP for sure so don't expect that. Quick, Accurate. More linear and flatter than 650 and sub-bass is clear and accurate. Quantity, it's not much... No where near a closed back obviously....

Have you heard the Aeon Flow C?
So, it is possible to make a set of headphones, closed, with a very lean bass response as this one has it.
I'm curious to compare the LCD-1s to the LCD-X and the Cleer Next and the HifiMan EditionX V2.
Fun, dead ahead.....

Looking forward to a head2head with Era-1 and PM-3. 
Got both, so i'm very interested in.
Never go back to DD.

New Head-Fier
It’s competing with mp m570Audeze has carved out an excellent reputation for producing incredibly high-quality planar magnetic headphones. Now the company has decided to launch a lightweight and affordable pair of planar magnetic headphones aimed at anyone looking for a reference pair of audio headphones.
The new LCD-1 headphones combine Audeze’s planar magnetic technology with a new, lightweight, foldable design. Handcrafted in California, the LCD-1 headphones have been engineered to reference-quality audio but in a compact and travel-friendly size making them ideal for sound engineers and audiophiles who don’t want to make compromises when they’re on the move.
Audiophiles and sound engineers love planar magnetic headphones but they can be expensive and heavy. The Audeze LCD-1 are lightweight and affordable and designed for people on the move.
Audeze
Planar magnetic headphones use different technology to the regular dynamic drivers found in most headphones. They are a halfway house between dynamic headphones and the incredibly expensive electrostatic designs that are out of most people’s reach. Planar magnetic headphones incorporate many of the advantages of high-end electrostatic headphones, such as accuracy and agility, but without the need for the bulky power supply that electrostatic models require to drive them. Planar magnetic headphones are well regarded by audio professionals who prize them for their agility and response. Since the withdrawal by Oppo from the consumer electronics market, there’s been a gap in the market for a lightweight pair of magnetic planar headphones.
